I finally bought a set of these 360° Propeller Guards for my Mini 2 and I'm really glad I did.



This quad has basically been sitting for the past 3 years with maybe 15 flights on it.  I would fly it up high, get some great shots, but nothing like flying FPV freestyle or racing.

But now, with the guards on, I can cruise around the yard, the block, up/down the street, without fear of bumping into something and destroying props or hurting someone.

This will be cool for sight seeing at the parks now, early morning or early evening when people aren't there.

It's kinda difficult flying in 'angle mode' all of the time, and I miss the actual camera rolling and pitching that happens along with non-camera quads.  The gimbal works to conceal what the quad is doing most of the time, so flying nice lines is really a challenge. There's also higher latency too. The guards add weight, of course, and make it more susceptible to wind. Still, I can get 15min flights per battery.

But now this quad is getting some air-time I already got a half-dozen practice flights in this weekend

There is a setting in DJI Fly that lets you choose camera mode between level-all-the-time and fpv. In fpv mode the camera gimbal is fixed and you can see your rolls and pitches.

I'll give that a try again. The last time I tried it I didn't like how it 'felt'. Something was off with how it behaved, like not 100% fixed gimbal or something.

Thanks!
